Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high-yielding, highly-selective, and long-term stable production process of isobutene by dehydrating tertiary-butanol (abbreviated below as TBA) using an alumina catalyst that has special properties as a catalyst.
- TBA tertiary-butanol
- Isobutene is an important industrial starting material that in recent years has been in the spotlight as a starting material for isobutene polymers and methyl methacrylate (MMA).
- isobutene commonly exists in C4 olefin mixtures that generally contain n-butene or the like, and it therefore becomes necessary to separate isobutene from these C4 olefin mixtures.
- n-butene-free isobutene is produced by the combination of a hydration reaction and a dehydration reaction.
- isobutene in the C4 olefin mixture is selectively hydrated and separated by recovery as TBA and the resulting TBA is dehydrated to obtain isobutene.
- the TBA yielded by hydration and recovery / separation is also an important industrial raw material.
- demand for TBA has been growing in recent years since it can be used directly without dehydration as a starting material for MMA.
- the olefin mixture as a starting material is mainly raffinate 1 (commonly known as "spent BB"), which is obtained by the removal of butadiene from the C4 fraction from the naphtha cracking process and has isobutene and n-butene as its main components.
- the olefin mixture as the starting material is a butene-containing C4 fraction obtained from the FCC cracking of heavy oil. Isobutene and n-butene are present in both starting materials, but are difficult to separate by distillation since the difference between their boiling points is small at no more than 1°C; reactive separation processes have thus been devised in which the isobutene is selectively hydrated.
- a packed fixed bed reaction using a strongly acidic ion-exchange resin is one process for carrying out the hydration reaction (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1, 2 and 3).
- This hydration reaction process provides an excellent separation from the catalyst since the catalyst is fixed; a drawback to this process, however, is a low reactivity due to a low contact efficiency.
- a process has been disclosed in which the reactivity is improved by the use of a suitable solvent, circulating the reaction solution, and using an optimal circulation range (for example, refer to Patent Document 4).
- US 3,665,048 discloses a process for producing isobutene from tert-butanol in the presence of an activated alumina catalyst.
- EP 0 551 022 A1 discloses the production of isobutene from tert-butanol in the presence of a catalyst comprising sulfuric acid impregnated alumina.
- US 4,395,580 discloses a process for producing a tertiary olefin by decomposition of a tertiary ether in the presence of steam and a catalyst consisting essentially of alumina and at least one modifying agent selected from titanium, zirconium and hafnium.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a high-yield, high-selectivity, and long-term stable process for producing isobutene from TBA using an alumina catalyst.
- one problem that occurs when TBA is produced by long-term operations is that, due to phenomena in which a gentle decline in reaction activity, a deterioration in the catalyst separation characteristics, and a decline in distillation column separation capacity decline with elapsed reaction time, the reactivity and operability must be restored by intermittently stopping the plant and replacing a portion of the catalyst.
- the present inventors carried out investigations in order to thoroughly analyze these phenomena and to solve them.
- an embodiment of the present invention was achieved based on the knowledge that, in TBA production, accumulating impurity is the cause of the decline in catalytic activity, the deterioration in catalyst separation, and the decline in distillation column separation performance.
- the isobutene production process according to the present invention can produce isobutene from tert -butanol at high yields and high selectivities in a stable manner on a long-term basis.
- a tert -butanol production process is provided in which, through long-term stable maintenance of a high reaction activity, long-term continuous operation is made possible and the productivity is improved.
- catalyst losses and the production losses associated with operating stoppages can be substantially reduced and waste reduction and energy savings can be realized.
- the present invention relates to a process for producing isobutene by a dehydration reaction in the gas phase using tert -butanol (referred to below as TBA) as a starting material.
- TBA tert -butanol
- the catalyst used in the isobutene production process according to the present invention is alumina whose main component is the ⁇ -crystalline structure.
- a Na content in the alumina catalyst is in a range of from 0.1 to 0.6 % by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 0.5 % by weight, and more preferably 0.1 to 0.4 % by weight in terms of Na 2 O.
- the Si content in the alumina catalyst is in a range of no more than 0.4 % by weight, preferably no more than 0.3 % by weight, and more preferably no more than 0.2 % by weight in terms of SiO 2 .
- the specific surface area is from 300 to 600 m 2 /g.
- the reason why the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production is particularly effective in the dehydration reaction is presumed to be the presence of an acidity optimal for dehydration reaction activity. As the amount of Na present in the alumina catalyst rises, the acid sites on the catalyst surface are neutralized and the dehydration reaction yield undergoes a substantial decline. In contrast to this, when SiO 2 is present in the alumina catalyst as an impurity, strong acid sites originating with Si-O-Al appear accompanying an increasing Si content, which reduces the dehydration reaction yield and accelerates carbon deposition. For this reason, smaller Na and Si contents in the alumina catalyst are increasingly advantageous.
- the magnitude of the specific surface area of the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production not only contributes to the dehydration reaction activity, but also has the effect of delaying the timewise decline in catalytic activity due to carbon deposition, and as a consequence the specific surface area is from 300 to 600 m 2 /g.
- the specific surface area is preferably no greater than 600 m 2 /g for the following reason: small-radius pores make up a small proportion of the total pore volume in an alumina catalyst having a specific surface area no greater than 600 m 2 /g, which works against carbon deposition-induced pore clogging and thereby slows the timewise decline in catalytic activity.
- the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production is preferably an alumina catalyst that has the properties described above as well as also having the following properties in combination therewith: a total pore volume in the alumina catalyst of from 0.1 to 0.5 cc/g and a pore volume for pores having a pore radius of at least 70 A that is at least 60% of the total pore volume.
- a high dehydration reaction yield and little timewise decline in catalytic activity are obtained when the alumina catalyst has a total pore volume in the aforementioned range and satisfies the aforementioned range for the pore volume attributable to pores with a pore radius of at least 70 A.
- alumina produced by known methods can be used as long as the properties of the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production are in the ranges described above.
- the alumina can be readily produced by thermal decomposition, precipitation, deposition, or mixing/kneading, or by combinations of these methods.
- the alumina precursor can be, for example, a nitrate, acetate, alkoxide, sulfate, chloride, alkali aluminate and alum, that produces alumina or alumina hydrate by heating or hydrolysis.
- the alkali used for hydrolysis include alkali hydroxides, alkali carbonates, aqueous ammonias and ammonium carbonates, the alkali lacking a sodium fraction being preferred.
- the shape of the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production is not particularly limited, and a powder, granule, sphere, cylinder or ring may be used; in practice the shape is determined based on a consideration of the pressure losses in the reactor.
- a sphere with a diameter of 0.5 to 20 mm, a cylinder with a diameter and height of 2 to 20 mm, or a ring with an outer diameter of 4 to 20 mm, an inner diameter of 2 to 16 mm, and a height of 2 to 20 mm is typically used.
- the method of forming the alumina catalyst used for isobutene production is not particularly limited.
- the catalyst forming method is typically tumbling granulation, marumerizing method, fluid bed granulation and the like; when the formation of a cylindrical or ring configuration is sought, extrusion molding or tableting is typically used; however, any method may be used.
- Pretreatment of the catalyst is not specifically required, but a pretreatment, for example, calcination, may be carried out.
- reaction temperature is from 200 to 450°C, preferably from 250 to 420°C, and more preferably from 300 to 400°C. Dehydration temperatures in this range are preferred from the standpoints of the dehydration reaction yield and the inhibition of carbon deposition.
- the feed rate of the starting material to the reactor is from 0.1 to 10 hr -1 and preferably from 0.5 to 5 hr -1 as the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of TBA as the starting material. Liquid hourly space velocities in this range are preferred from the standpoints of the economics, dehydration reaction yield, and inhibition of carbon deposition.
- the reaction pressure is not particularly limited, and reduced pressure, ambient pressure, and applied pressures may be used; however, the applied pressures are advantageous from the standpoint of enabling condensation with the coolants typically used in the industry and from the standpoint of enabling a reduction in the size of the reactor and a reduction in the amount of the catalyst.
- the TBA vapor as the starting material is generally supplied in combination with an inert gas such as a steam and / or nitrogen; however, operation and production are also possible according to the process of the present invention using the pass-through of only TBA vapor. This is due to the low occurrence of secondary reactions in the isobutene production process according to the present invention and due to the low carbon deposition that is also a characteristic feature of the isobutene production process according to the present invention.
- a continuous reaction is preferred for the reaction mode for the isobutene production process according to the present invention, while a fixed bed is preferred for the reactor configuration.
- TBA as the starting material used in the isobutene production process according to the present invention need not be pure, and TBA as the starting material can be used that contains small amounts of organics that do not undergo chemical reaction under the reaction conditions. However, organics that might cause carbon deposition are preferably absent to the maximum extent possible.
- TBA as the starting material is more preferably TBA that has been produced from a hydrocarbon mixture containing isobutene and n-butene by the selective hydration of the isobutene using an aqueous catalyst solution containing water and a heteropolyacid catalyst.
- TBA produced by hydration over heteropolyacid has the least amount of impurities (e.g., diisobutene, oxygenated compounds) and the least carbon deposition.
- impurities e.g., diisobutene, oxygenated compounds
- the high selectivity of the hydration reaction by heteropolyacid is thought to be one cause of this.
- TBA produced by other methods for example, TBA produced as a secondary product during the production of propylene oxide contains large amounts of oxygenated compounds, such as ketones.
- TBA produced by hydration over ion-exchange resin contains esters between the butenes and the organic acid added in order to raise the contact efficiency.
- Water-containing TBA can also be used, and the use of TBA, as the starting material, containing water at a certain level is preferred from the standpoint of inhibiting carbon deposition.
- water-containing TBA can be used as the starting material, this offers the economic advantage of making it unnecessary to implement a purification process in which the water, which forms an azeotrope with TBA, is removed; moreover, such TBA resists freezing at low temperatures and is thus easy to handle.
- TBA produced using heteropolyacid for the catalyst is a more preferred starting material because it has a stable and defined water concentration.
- TBA used in the process of the present invention.
- accumulating impurity causes a decline in catalytic activity, a deterioration in catalyst separation, and a decline in distillation column separation performance in the continuous production of TBA from a hydrocarbon mixture containing isobutene and n-butene by the selective hydration of isobutene using an aqueous catalyst solution containing water and catalyst.
- the TBA production process therefore provides a stable continuous process for producing TBA, through the provision of a novel technical concept, i.e., a step of managing the accumulating impurity such that it does not exceed a prescribed concentration through the use of a recycle system that circulates at least one selection from the TBA, aqueous catalyst solution, and hydrocarbon mixture containing isobutene and n-butene.
- a continuous tert- butanol production apparatus for TBA production.
- the continuous tert -butanol production apparatus comprises at least one stirring tank-type reactor; a distillation column that is connected to the stirring tank-type reactor; a separator that is connected to the stirring tank-type reactor and/or the distillation column and that removes impurity; and a bottom liquid conduit that communicates with the separator, stirring tank-type reactor, and/or distillation column.
- the stirring tank-type reactor is provided with a catalyst separator and this catalyst separator is also connected to the aforementioned separator.
- the aforementioned separator is provided with a column of adsorbent and / or a column of ion-exchange resin.
- the aforementioned stirring tank-type reactor in a preferred aspect of the continuous production apparatus used in an embodiment of the present invention is a counterflow-type reactor in which the aqueous catalyst solution and the hydrocarbon mixture as the starting material are reacted while being fed in a counterflow manner.
- a high productivity can be realized by carrying out the reaction while feeding the aqueous catalyst solution and the hydrocarbon mixture as the starting material in a counterflow manner.
- a diminished activity can also be regenerated by the addition of an oxidizing agent. Proceeding in the manner laid out in the foregoing, a recycle system for the starting material, product, or catalyst can be established via the separator, as described below, in the continuous TBA production apparatus used in an embodiment of the present invention.
- the impurity that accumulates due to the reaction conditions under which TBA is produced from the hydrocarbon mixture containing isobutene and n-butene by the selective hydration of the isobutene using the aqueous catalyst solution containing water and catalyst, is estimated to be formed in many cases from a plurality of substances, although a single impurity is also a possibility.
- the present inventors found that the accumulation in the reaction system of reactor material as metal ion yielded by dissolution by, for example, corrosion, is also a factor in the decline in catalytic activity.
- the acidic catalyst material was presumed to be the cause, and, through a broad investigation into metal materials that could substantially reduce corrosion and also through experiments, a phenomenon was discovered that could not be predicted from the conventional corrosion resistance concept for stainless steel. That is, in TBA production in an embodiment of the present invention, the production of impurity in the reaction system can be inhibited as much as possible and a trace amount of accumulating impurity that is produced is concentrated in the recycle system and effectively removed. While it might normally be concluded that impurity elimination is preferably carried out at a site where the impurity is produced or exists, when this was actually attempted it was very difficult to effectively eliminate trace amounts of impurity. However, even in those instances where elimination is problematic due to the trace levels, concentration of the accumulating impurity at the recycle system dramatically facilitates the separation efficiency and makes possible an effective separation with simple equipment.
- the removal step in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention is carried out in at least one recycle system, vide infra, for the accumulating impurity, and the step of removing the accumulating impurity can be carried out at a suitable location in accordance with differences, for example, in the reaction procedure.
- the removal step can be conducted in the catalyst recycle system.
- the removal step can be carried out in the recycle system for the unreacted starting material system.
- the removal step can be carried out in a recycle system for the product, and the removal step is preferably carried out in a recycle system at an effective location in correspondence to the process.
- the accumulating impurity can also be removed in all of the recycle systems, i.e., for the catalyst, starting material, and product, in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention.
- the step of removing accumulating impurity in the TBA production process in an embodiment of the present invention is described below using the example of a system that uses for an aqueous heteropolyacid solution as the strongly acidic catalyst used in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention.
- the anion in the heteropolyacid catalyst has a diameter of approximately 1 nm and is thus a larger anion than in nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid, which are common mineral acids. This has the result of increasing the protonic acid strength in comparison to the other mineral acids. At the same proton concentration, a higher reaction activity is exhibited in the isobutene hydration reaction than is exhibited by the common mineral acids such as nitric acid. In addition, the interaction between the large anion and isobutene is assumed to be stronger than for n-butene, which is thought to elicit a higher selectivity in the hydration reaction.
- heteropolyacid is stable in the reaction temperature range of about 100°C, and this also offers a lifespan advantage over ion-exchange resins, which are subject to thermal deterioration.
- heteropolyacid is superior to ion-exchange resin as a catalyst.
- the present inventors discovered the solution described below for the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention.
- impurity accumulation was found as a result of an analysis of an aqueous heteropolyacid solution from a recycle system, which had been used in a long-term reaction and had undergone a decline in catalytic activity.
- the accumulating impurity can be removed by adsorptive separation, for example, from a location that carries out recycle circulation of a portion of the aqueous catalyst solution at a bottom of the distillation column that distillatively separates the dissolved TBA.
- adsorptive separation for example, from a location that carries out recycle circulation of a portion of the aqueous catalyst solution at a bottom of the distillation column that distillatively separates the dissolved TBA.
- the iron ion which based on an analysis of the aqueous catalyst solution was not observed during the initial period of the reaction, underwent a clear increase as the reaction time increased. That is, metal ions, such as iron, that elute from the reactor and the pipe material are presumed to be an accumulating impurity. It is thought that the production of the iron ion and the like is caused by corrosion from the material making up the apparatus, for example, the reactor. As a result of investigations into methods of removing these metal ions, it was discovered that the metal ions are almost entirely removed by selective absorption on ion-exchange resin.
- Active carbons can also be used for the adsorptive removal of metal ions.
- the use of a selection from the ion-exchange resins is preferred for metal ion removal.
- Specific examples thereof include cation-exchange resins having the sulfonic group or carboxyl group, such as styrenic gel types, styrenic MR types, methacrylic acid MR types, acrylic acid MR types and acrylic acid gel types.
- a suitable selection from the chelate resin or H(acid)-form is more preferred for use than the Na-form.
- butenes in the hydrocarbon mixture as the starting material that contains isobutene and n-butene because they have a reactive functional group, i.e., the vinyl group, are presumed to produce, for example, by a polymerization reaction in some form, accumulating high-boiling organic compounds.
- impurity that accumulates in the recycle system is the causative substance for the deterioration in the catalyst separation interface and the causative substance with regard to distillation column separation (foaming). Moreover, it was also ascertained, based on analyses using NMR, MS and IR, that this is impurity that has a functionality similar to that of a surfactant and presumably has an organic molecule moiety and an anion.
- the deterioration in catalyst separation and the deterioration in the operability of the distillation column can be inhibited by removing the accumulating impurity. That is, it is from 10.0 to 0.1 % by weight, preferably from 5.0 to 0.1 % by weight, and more preferably from 3.0 to 0.1 % by weight as a concentration of the surface-active accumulating impurity in the aqueous catalyst solution. While control to these low levels is preferred, this increases the load, for example, large amounts of the adsorbent used for removal then become necessary.
- an optimal concentration level can be established in view of, for example, the TBA concentration, and as function of the separation status and the operating conditions.
- adsorbent examples include inorganic porous materials such as silica, alumina, active carbon, zeolites, and mesoporous zeolites, e.g., large pore diameter MCM-41; crosslinked synthetic organic polymers lacking ion-exchange groups and derived from styrene-divinylbenzene or methacrylate ester and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; chitosan resin. It is an adsorbent having a porosity of a size wherein the pore radius is in a range of from 0.5 to 500 nm, and preferably is a porous material having pores with a radius of from 1 to 250 nm and more from 2 to 50 nm.
- an oleophilic material is more preferred than a hydrophilic material, and preferred materials are organic-modified silica gel (e.g., modified with a silane coupling agent), organic-modified alumina, mesoporous material such as organic-modified MCM-41, and more preferably synthetic resin-type materials.
- the accumulating impurity is concentrated and removed in the particular recycle system in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention by using a recycle system for the catalyst, starting material, or product and by disposing a separator, e.g., of adsorbent and / or ion-exchange resin, in the recycle system.
- a separator e.g., of adsorbent and / or ion-exchange resin
- a material that exhibits acidity can be used as the catalyst used in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention; however, viewed from the perspective of the reaction rate, use can be made of strongly acidic materials for which the Hammett acidity function H 0 is represented by -5.6 ⁇ H 0 .
- the strongly acidic materials include SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 -ZrO 2 , SiO 2 -BeO, SiO 2 -Y 2 O 3 , SiO 2 -La 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 , TiO 2 -ZrO 2 , H-Y zeolite, H-ZSM-5, at least 80% H 2 SO 4 , Nafion-H, strongly acidic cation-exchange resins, para-toluenesulfonic acid, and heteropolyacid, and a selection therefrom can be used as the acid catalyst.
- heteropolyacid used in the TBA production process used in an embodiment of the present invention use can be made of acids such as H 3 PMo 12 O 40 , H 6 P 2 Mo 18 O 62 , H 9 AlMoO 24 , H 3 AsMo 12 O 40 , H 8 CeMO 12 O 42 , H 9 GaMoO 24 , H 5 IMO 12 O 40 , H 4 SiMo 12 O 40 , H 4 GeMoO 12 O 40 , H 4 PVMo 11 O 40 , H 5 PV 2 Mo 10 O 40 , H 5 BW 12 O 40 , H 4 PW 11 AlO 40 , H 3 PW 12 O 40 , H 5 AlW 12 O 40 , H 6 SiV 2 W 10 O 40 , H 5 SiVW 11 O 40 , H 4 SiW 12 O 40 , H 5 GaW 12 O 40 , H 9 NdW 18 O 36 , H 9 CeW 18 O 36 , and H 6 P 2 W 18 O 62 and salts such as H 3 NaS
- examples of the locations in contact with the acidic aqueous catalyst solution include reaction vessels, stirring blades, diaphragms, packing, decanters, settlers, distillation columns, distillation column trays, pipes, flanges, measurement device members, connection members such as joints.
- Materials such as iron e.g., carbon steel, copper, brass and aluminum, would be strongly corroded when used as these members, making such materials undesirable.
- Stainless steel is the preferred material for members in contact with the heteropolyacid catalyst, and stainless steel can be broadly used. More preferably, stainless steel having an alloy system of iron, chromium, and nickel is a material that exhibits excellent corrosion properties.
- austenitic stainless steel containing a Cr content of from 17 to 21 %, a Ni content of from 8 to 14%, and a C content of no more than 0.10% is even more preferred at locations in contact with the heteropolyacid.
- examples of the stainless steel include SUS304, 304L, 305, 305L, 308, 316, 316J, 316L, 317, 317L, and the like, SUS304 being more preferred.
- the present inventors presume that the constituent elements of these materials and the heteropolyacid undergo specific reactions with each other at a surface of the material to form a stabilized passive layer, which in turn can inhibit the development of corrosion.
- an oxidizing agent results in the recovery of the catalytic activity and also attenuates the degree of coloration of the somewhat colored aqueous catalyst solution. This is believed to be due to the following: oxidation of catalyst that has been reduced through oxidation, and oxidative degradation and hence removal of impurity that was causing inhibition of the reaction.
- the oxidizing agent an improvement in the activity is seen with an oxidation method that uses air or oxygen; however, this requires a somewhat lengthy period of time. Ozone and electrochemical oxidation methods can also be used as the oxidizing agent.
- the oxidizing agent preferably has a high oxidizing power, such as hydrogen peroxide.
- the oxidizing power is preferably equivalent to that of hydrogen peroxide, and a more preferred oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, occurs as water after the reaction, and does not have a significant influence on the hydration reaction.
- a more preferred oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide
- the amount and frequency of oxidizing agent addition cannot be determined according to a fixed rule because they vary as a function of, inter alia, the type of oxidizing agent, the extent of the decline in activity due to the length of time the catalyst has been in use, and the amount of accumulating impurity that is also present.
- the continuous or discontinuous addition of hydrogen peroxide at from 0.01 to 5000 ppm/h, preferably from 0.1 to 3000 ppm/h, and more preferably from 1 to 1000 ppm/h, in each case with reference to the aqueous catalyst solution provides exemplary instances of the use of hydrogen peroxide as general criteria for addition, although the addition is determined at any particular time point based on the actual operating results.
- the temperature in the event of addition can be selected from the temperature range from room temperature to about 100°C. Since higher temperatures generally result in a faster oxidation reaction rate but also increasingly facilitate degradation of the hydrogen peroxide itself, it is preferable to select a temperature of from 30 to 80°C, more preferably from 40 to 80°C.
- oxidizing agent addition for the most part the location is preferred where the aqueous phase that forms from the catalyst and water is formed, and a site or location from which hydrocarbon, e.g., olefin, is absent to the greatest extent possible is more preferred.
- hydrocarbon e.g., olefin

- the yield was 93%.
- Performance evaluations were carried out under entirely the same reaction conditions as in Example 1 using various alumina catalysts (catalysts B, C, D, E, F, and G) with different properties as the catalyst. The results are shown in Table 1. Main by-products were disobutene and sec-butanol.
- a catalyst life test was run under these conditions, and the results of the reaction at total reaction times of 1800 hours and 9000 hours are shown in Table 3.

- This infrared absorption spectrum presents absorptions at 1062 cm -1 , 960 cm -1 , 880 cm -1 , and 808 cm -1 that are characteristic of Keggin-type heteropolyacids and absorptions originating with organic compounds, inter alia, the C-H stretching vibration at 2970 cm -1 , and a compound containing both alkyl and an anion could thus be confirmed as an accumulating impurity.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of the continuous production apparatus usedfor carrying out the TBA production process.
- elements such as the stirring tank-type reactosr, pipes, and the like are all made of SUS304 (18.0% Cr, 8.0% Ni, no more than 0.08% C), and there are provided three stirring tank-type reactors, each of which is constituted of a stirring reaction tank with a 10 L reaction volume and a catalyst separation member with a volume of 2 L. While the example in Figure 2 has three stirring tank-type reactors, the continuous production apparatus used in an embodiment of the present invention is provided with at least one stirring tank-type reactor and is not limited to an apparatus provided with three stirring-type reactors.
- a process was run in which the particular hydrocarbon phase (oil phase) and aqueous catalyst solution (aqueous phase) were separated at the catalyst separator disposed at each reactor; the hydrocarbon as the starting material and aqueous catalyst solution were reacted in a counterflow manner; the TBA product-containing aqueous catalyst solution separated at the catalyst separator of the final reaction tank was fed to a packed column-type distillation column having 20 theoretical plates; TBA was separated from a top of the distillation column; control was carried out to give a reduced pressure such that the bottom temperature was 70°C; and aqueous catalyst solution was recovered from the bottom.
- An amount of liquid that was about one-tenth the amount of bottom liquid was circulated, and the aqueous catalyst solution was supplied to the stirring tank-type reactors while continuously carrying out adsorptive removal of the impurity metal ion and the accumulating impurity (refer to Figure 2 ).
- a 50 % by weight of fresh phosphomolybdic acid (H 3 PMo 12 O 40 ) solution (Hammett acidity function H 0 : -5.6 ⁇ H 0 ) was prepared and fed at 50 L / h to all of the reactors shown as illustrated in Figure 2 ; as the hydrocarbon starting material, a raffinate 1 containing 43 % by weight of isobutene was fed in a counterflow manner at 20 L / h.
- control was carried out such that the stirring reaction tank in each reactor was at 70°C.
- the adsorbent was washed with water and separated, the accumulating impurity was dissolved from the adsorbent using acetone, and the acetone was evaporated to give a residue taken to be the amount of impurity. According to this procedure, the amount of accumulating impurity in the aqueous catalyst solution was 2.1 % by weight.
- a continuous reaction was carried out by the same process as in Example 6, but in this case without disposing the column of acid-form cation-exchange resin and the column of adsorbent in the bottom liquid conduit line as was done in Example 6.
- a conversion of 95% was maintained at 100 hours after the start of the reaction; however, beginning at about 150 hours, a rise in the pressure difference in the distillation column was observed and some turbidity was also observed in the unreacted hydrocarbon. Molybdenum was detected when the unreacted hydrocarbon was evaporated and the residue was analyzed by X-ray fluorescence. The reaction was stopped because the decline in separation performance at the catalyst separation members and the deterioration in separation at the distillation column made it quite difficult to continue the reaction.
- aqueous catalyst solution was withdrawn and the catalyst separation performance was tested as in Reference Experiment 2. According to the results for 5 runs, an average of 160 seconds was required until separation into 2 phases and formation of the interface; moreover, the interface was also indistinct. 50 mL of this aqueous catalyst solution was brought into contact with 30 mL of fresh Sepabeads adsorbent in order to adsorb the quantity of accumulating impurity. When the quantity of accumulating impurity was then determined by the same procedure as in the reference examples, the quantity of accumulating impurity in the aqueous catalyst solution was 11.5% by weight.
- a reaction was run using the same procedure as in Example 6, but in this case without carrying out the oxidation treatment using hydrogen peroxide.
- the isobutene conversion was 95% at about the tenth hour from the beginning of the reaction.
- a stable reaction operation could be maintained and long-term operation was possible.
- a gentle decline in activity was seen from about 500 hours; the isobutene conversion at about hour 1000 was 94.2% and after the elapse of 2000 hours was 93.6% and a decline in activity was seen in the long-term reaction.
- Example 6 The same procedure as in Example 6 was carried out, but in this case changing the material of the stirring vessels to Hastelloy B (67% Ni, 28% Mo, 5% Fe), which generally has a better resistance to acid corrosion than SUS304.
- the ion-exchange resin was also not installed in this case.
- the isobutene conversion was 95% at about the tenth hour from the beginning of the reaction. A stable reaction operation could be maintained and long-term operation was possible. However, a gentle decline in activity was seen from about 300 hours; the isobutene conversion at about hour 1000 was 94.5% and after the elapse of 2000 hours was 94.1% and a decline in activity was seen in the long-term reaction.
- the iron ion had increased about 700 ppm to 800 ppm and the result predicted from the general corrosion resistance was confirmed.
- a 500-hour reaction was run using the same procedure as in Example 6, but in this case changing the catalyst to phosphotungstic acid (H 3 PW 12 O 40 ) and establishing the same proton concentration.
- the isobutene conversion was 95.2% after a 10-hour reaction and was 95.2% even after the elapse of 500 hours, and operability problems were also entirely absent.
- a 500-hour reaction was run using the same procedure as in Example 6, but in this case changing the catalyst to phosphovanadomolybdic acid (H 4 PVMo 11 O 40 ) and establishing the same proton concentration.
- the isobutene conversion was 94.7% after a 10-hour reaction and was 94.8% even after the elapse of 500 hours, and operability problems were also entirely absent.
- a 500-hour reaction was run using the same procedure as in Example 6, but in this case changing the catalyst to silicotungstic acid (H 4 SiW 12 O 40 ) and establishing the same proton concentration.
- the isobutene conversion was 95.3% after a 10-hour reaction and was 95.2% even after the elapse of 500 hours, and operability problems were also entirely absent.
- Example 6 The same procedure as in Example 6 was carried out, but in this case changing the material of the stirring vessels from SUS304 to SUS316 (18.0% Cr, 10.0% Ni, no more than 0.08% C, 2.0% Mo), which additionally contained a small amount of molybdenum.
- the ion-exchange resin was also not installed in this case.
- the isobutene conversion was 95.2% at about the tenth hour from the beginning of the reaction. A stable reaction operation could be maintained and long-term operation was possible.
- the decline from about 300 hours was also not seen, and the isobutene conversion at about hour 1000 was 95.1% and after the elapse of 2000 hours was 95.2% and an activity decline was thus not seen even in the long-term reaction.
- the iron ion, at 98 ppm was not observed to have undergone a significant increase from the beginning.
- the isobutene production process according to the present invention provides a high-yield, high-selectivity, and long-term stable process for producing isobutene from TBA. Further, the present invention describes aTBA production process which can be used in the process of the present invention by which, through long-term stable maintenance of a high reaction activity, long-term continuous operation is made possible and the productivity is improved. Furthermore, the present invention can substantially reduce catalyst losses and the production losses associated with stopping operations and achieves energy savings and waste reduction.
